IMPROVEMENT IN KEROSENE-STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 221,644, dated November11, 1879; application flled March 6, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN S. WrLLrAins, of Brooklyn, in the county ofKings and State of New York, have invented certain Improvements inKerosene-Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is designed not only for ordinary heating and householdpurposes, but also for warming railway-cars, and for other uses to whichkerosene-stoves have not hitherto been practically applied.

The invention comprises certain novel combinations of parts for keepingthe wick-tubes 0001 without the use of water, for removing the heat fromsaid tubes, for insuring a full and reliable draft to support combustionand a large volume of heated air for warmin g purposes, and for heatingsad-irons when required.

Figure 1 is a,,,vertica-l sectional View of a stove made according to mysaid invention. Fig. 2 is a side view and partial section of the same.Fig. 3 is a plan View of that portion thereof designed for heatingsad-irons. Figs. 4 and 5 are plan views of certain portions of theapparatus.

A is the oil-reservoir, having the wick-tubes a and the usualratchet-wheels, b for vertically adjusting the wicks. Around and overthe reservoir A is a jacket, B, of sheet metal, the top 0 of which is atsome distance-say one- .half inch, more or less-from the top of thereservoir. In the circumferential portion of this jacket are openings 0101. Around each wick-tube is a tapering deflector, e.

The top 0 of the jacket B is made of sheetzinc, as distinguished fromiron, the former readily yielding any heat it may accumulate, whereasthe latter Would remain hot under the same circumstances. Above eachwicktube is a chimney, (3. These chimneys are surrounded by a cylinder,D, and a top plate, F, through which latter open the upper ends of thechimneys. This top plate is perforated with numerous holes, as shown ate in Fig. 4.

Upon the top of the cylinder D is provided a flaring rim or flange, f,on which is placed the sad-iron heater E. This consists of two parallelplates, B O, placed one above the other, and connected at a suitabledistance apart by a stem or brace, m, as shown in Fig. 1.

Formed radially in the lower plate, 0, are a number of openingS, g, of ashape corresponding to that of an ordinary sad-iron, but of somewhatsmaller size. these openings 9, but formed in the upper plate, B, are acorresponding number of radial openings, h, open at their outer ends,and of only about suflicient width to permit the handle of a sad'iron toslip into them.

The device thus constituted is placed upon the flaring top of thecylinder D, as represented in Figs. 1 and 2, in such position that theheated air and hot gaseous products of combustion issuing from thechimneys will pass to or toward theopenings g.

In the use and operation of the stove the wicks-or, in other words, theburners-are lighted, and forthwith the air for combustion passes upwithin the jacket B under the sheetzinc top 0, and thence through thedeflectors c to the flame. The heated products of combustion pass upthrough the chimneys O and out therefrom underneath the sad-iron heater,and come in direct contact with the under surfaces of the sad-ironsplaced over the openings g, (resting upon the edges of said openings,)with their handles in the openings h, the said irons being by this meansrapidly heated.

The heat from the wick-tubes transmitted by conduction to the zinc top 0is taken up and removed by the air passing continually in contacttherewith, (thus keeping the wick tubes cool and preventing thetransmission of heat to the contents of the oil'reservoir A,) and byheating said air assists the combustion. When a portion of said air issupplied direct to the flame through and by means of the deflectors 0,another portion of the air, passing up through the perforations a,passes through the space within the cylinder D and in contact with theouter surfaces of the chimneys, and, becoming warmed thereby, issuesthrough the openings 0, and is thence distributed to warm the room orapartment, whether of a dwelling, railwaycar, or other locality.

It is, of oourse,to be understood that the sad- (Joincident with ironheater may be removed when desired,and i tending downward nearly to thetop of the that this device is not required in the employreservoir, incombination with the chimneys ment of the stove in warmingrailway-stoves, (J, the cylinder 1), having the perforated top F &c. Anyair passed into the jacket B that and cone-plate G, jacket B,havingopenings cannot readily pass therefrom in one or the d d, and theoil-reservoir, all substantially as other of the ways just explainedpasses out I and for the purpose set forth. through the openings (1. v v
